AmeriCorps Week: Service Saturday part 1

AmeriCorps members, families, friends, and others launched AmeriCorps week with a bang! We engaged, inspired, and had fun! Here is the rundown...

New Haven:
Future Coaches
 
65 New Haven high school students and 25 future coach volunteers came together in an Action Marathon. During the event, future coach volunteers supported students in creating action steps to move their future projects along.  We enlisted volunteers to make flyers and assist at events;sent emails to potential donors; created timelines and proposals, and budgets for their events.
